How to divide an open-plan space: 9 ideas

Homes lower on dimensions benefit immensely from the absence of walls. Small
apartments with an open-plan space layout help the owners have different
functional spaces within the limited area. An open area sans walls allows for
ample light & air to circulate freely throughout the entire space; the
furniture arrangement, furnishings & decor need to be such that they are
not an impediment to light & ventilation, particularly in small homes.

However,
no matter how big or small your home is, it will always look great minus a few
interior walls. Of late, interior designers are increasingly experimenting with the open floor plan living, and
a rising number of projects offering unconstrained spaces are being dished out
in a modern AND homely format. Generally, the living room is the space that is
mostly bedecked with an open-plan concept, though the room division for
practical usage may vary greatly. A variety of styles & designs are
available to explore, the key is to approach the open-plan interior design
scheme such that a cohesive home with an
intrinsic feeling of togetherness is tastefully created.

This
homify story brings to you 9 fantastic examples of how you can divide an
open-plan space to come up with functionally poised areas. These great examples
will inspire you copiously on how amazing your home interiors could look
without as many walls! Sounds interesting? Read on!
